“I am delighted to say that all three judges, along with the brilliant host of ‘American Idol’ are back for the next season,” he told Seacrest, who happens to be the aforementioned “brilliant host” of ‘Idol.’

Tyler and Jackson had committed to returning earlier this year, but Lopez was a little slower on the draw. She has quite a busy schedule — she’s the mother of three-year-old twins, has a recording career of her own, and is working on developing a Latin-themed talent show. And then there’s her recent split from husband Marc Anthony.

But sometimes money does all the talking.

According to TMZ, J.Lo got a big fat raise — she’ll make $20 million this coming season, a healthy bump from the $12 million she got last year.
